All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

"naval tiara"

My mind went straight to "navel tiara". I'm not sure how that would work, but it would probably be on display at the wedding Brenda's going to.

I'm working from home today, which is lovely. And I found out that hummingbirds are not the only ones drinking from their feeder. There's a space that I fill with water that's supposed to keep the ants out, and a goldfinch was just drinking from it. Multi-use!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Someone once told me about a wedding where the groom's trashy ex showed up uninvited, drunk and interrupted the ceremony by loudly announcing what she'd like to do with him. The bride marched down the aisle from the altar and one-punched her into unconsciousness, then resumed the wedding.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That's exactly what I thought of. I couldn't quite imagine it, but I figured I'd see a photo on Tumblr soon.

If I had a flatter belly, I might get a tiara tattooed around my bellybutton.

I saw a crow dining from the big birdfeeder this morning for the first time. If the crows have discovered it, I'm gonna need bigger bags of birdseed.

Aw, goldfinch.

Okay, I'm pretty sure I have everything I'm supposed to have. There was some confusion over missing screws that remain missing when reassembling the TV that the other movers took apart, but hey. Minor issue.

I have tons of boxes to unpack and I need to clean everything that was on the moving truck, but I need to eat lunch and do some more work first.

Dang, meara, that is a lot of interview!

I love repeating myself. Would hate for other people to waste their time reading the first email I send with information before not having that info causes them trouble. I really just send these emails to keep my fingers busy.

Hooray stuff!

OMG. Interview is finally over. Praying I did well because I never want to do this again. UGH. Am exhausted and woozy. Felt like I was talking to everyone FOREVER...but the same 45 minutes that I had to make the presentation somehow was gone in a heartbeat. I don't think my presentation was great, but I"m hoping it was OK enough.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hooray stuff!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Visited the last of the official NIH child care centers today. Also visited a (relatively) local Kindercare center, which had an opening. So Monday, when the little guy turns 6 weeks old, he goes to day care. Also, I go back to work tomorrow.(Gary's staying home tomorrow and Friday)
